It’s my first time in America and I've been feeling both excited and apprehensive, today was a long day, heavy security, long flight and loads of traffic, but the lovely welcome we have received from YMCA New York City has made it all worthwhile, we had such an amazing evening with Rayda Director International Programs and Natalie Chief Operating Officer.

It’s also been lovely getting to know everyone in our group,
lots of different skills, knowledge and experience coming together to represent
YMCA England & Wales. It was strange trying to stay up as late as possible
so that we wouldn’t wake up at 4am in the morning and be tired all day (Jason’s
travel advice) J I
woke up at 3.45am but soon fell asleep again.

We started our day at YMCA New York City Westside with CEO
Sharon Greenberger sharing her visionary and inspirational approach to
strategic change. With the imminent launch of their 2018-2025 strategic plan it
was great to see how the different strands of their work come together to
deliver the key strategic priorities to Empower Youth, Improve Health and
Strengthen Communities.
Our visit to YMCA Harlem Branch was extremely interesting;
it was great to see the legacy of Sir George Williams come to life through the
diversity of engagement with a complex and varied community.
To see first-hand the positive impact of the innovative and market leading New Americans Welcome Centres initiative was amazing.

Natalie Norton COO facilitated an excellent afternoon of
knowledge sharing, discussion and debate with her Senior Management Team,
giving great insight into the size and complexities of how YMCA NYC is changing
and developing its self to deliver the strategic challenges that face all of us
in this fast changing economic and social environment.
Our day finished with a lovely reception with staff and
Trustees.Thank you all so very much for a great start to our
Discovery Visit, really looking forward to the next few days.
